The Brunei Shorinji Kempo competition started off yesterday at the Menglait Sports Complex.

Organised by the Brunei Shorinji Kempo Federation (Perkeb), the tournament is aimed at selecting athletes (kenshi) to represent Brunei for overseas competitions and to judge the progress of the kenshi's performance while exposing them to competition environments.

The two-day tournament will feature both the Embu (artistic) and Randori (sparring) events for all categories: Men, Women and Mixed.

The finals are scheduled to be held from 8am-11am at the same venue tomorrow.
